In early spring, as soon as the snow begins to melt, in summer cottages, alpine coaster and flower beds, we are looking forward to the first flowers. After a long winter, spring primroses become the first long-awaited decoration on the still cool ground.

1. Snowdrops

Snowdrops are one of the most unpretentious spring plants, the snow has not yet melted, but they are already in a hurry to please us with their flowers.


Snowdrops can be propagated by daughter bulbs or seeds. In the first case, fresh seeds are sown to a depth of one to two centimeters into the soil (the depth depends solely on the looseness of the soil). The first two years the seeds will germinate, but they will not bloom, but from the third year you can see the long-awaited white flowers.

The second breeding option is by daughter bulbs. The purchased bulbs must be elastic, they are immediately planted in the soil, but it is better not to take dried bulbs, since snowdrops react very badly to dehydration. When planting, dry humus, ash or bone meal are introduced into the ground.

Transplanting bulbs should be started immediately after flowering and never on time. Another transplant option is in August, many growers consider summer a more favorable period, since the old roots cease to function and die off, and the new ones have not yet appeared.

2. Crocuses

The species of this plant great amount and each of them has its own color and shape of the petals. Crocuses are autumn-flowering and spring-flowering. Crocuses can most easily tolerate a transplant during a dormant period, and this is the summer period.


Crocus sowing propagates, like all autumn species of this genus, by planting corms in spring in light nutritious breathable soil to a depth of 5 to 8 centimeters.

The most important thing when planting a crocus is the acidity of the soil, which should be close to neutral, and the landing site should be sunny, where the snow melts on the site in the first place.

3. Lilies of the valley

Another famous spring Flower- lily of the valley. Its natural habitat is in the forest, next to shrubs and semi-shrubs, where there is a lot of moisture. This plant is perennial and belongs to the lily family.

In order for lilies of the valley to delight you in the garden, they should be planted in autumn, the ideal period is from September to early November. For transplantation, you need to place a part of the rhizome of an adult plant, on which the buds are located, in the previously fertilized soil. And be sure to make sure that the root is not bent when planting, and all the shoots are covered with earth.

Lily of the valley - very unpretentious plant, the only thing that it needs for growth and long flowering is a moist bud, especially in the heat of summer. Humus is perfect as a fertilizer.

It is important to remember that the lily of the valley has a very developed root system, so it is able to survive any plants, except for trees and shrubs, that it encounters on its way. Do not plant lilies of the valley mixed with other flowers.

4. Hyacinths

Blooming hyacinths are a picture of stunning beauty, since no spring flower can compare with them in brightness of color and variety of colors.


Hyacinth is propagated by small bulbs, which, as a rule, are formed on an adult bulb of a plant on average 3-4 per year. The baby is carefully separated from the mother's bulb during the summer dormancy, and then planted in the ground before the adult bulbs, at the end of summer. Such bulbs grow and bloom in 2-3 years.

After the hyacinth has bloomed, you need to cut the peduncle as high as possible and then give time to the leaves to turn yellow and die off naturally, so that the nutrients get back into the plant bulb.

5. Sleep-grass or lumbago

Naturally, lumbago grows in steppe meadows, on open dry slopes, in light pine forests and on sunny forest edges.


In order to grow a dream grass in your garden, you should purchase seeds or finished plant in the container. But, in no case should you dig up a plant in the forest, firstly, this flower does not withstand transplantation and will most likely dry out immediately, and secondly, this species is on the verge of extinction and has long been listed in the Red Book.

If you decide to buy seeds, then it is best to sow them in warm soil in the spring, somewhere in April, because optimum temperature for their germination is 20 - 25 ° C. The soil for crops should be light, well-drained, it is possible to add a moderate amount of peat, sand, mineral fertilizers.

6. Proleski

Another type of plants that we associate exclusively with forest glades. Proleski - perennial bulbous plant, which belongs to the vast family of liliaceae.

Propagation of woodland occurs in two ways: by seeds and daughter bulbs. During the growing season, an adult curl bulb is capable of forming up to 4 children, which are separated at the time of transplantation, and then on a separate site grown.

7. Grouse

Beautiful perennial flower hazel grouse with a characteristic variegated color and large hanging umbrellas-flowers are very unpretentious for growing in the garden. To breed it, it is enough to know a few rules. Firstly, that the soil for planting should be light and nutritious with the addition of peat, and secondly, the most successful planting time is September or early October. Optimally choose the sunniest place for planting.

Caring for hazel grouse is in many ways similar to caring for lilies, the aboveground part of a faded plant must be cut off in July, and watered abundantly throughout the season. For reproduction, the vegetative and seed versions are suitable, which were described above, for other flowers.

8. The hellebore

Rhizome perennial with evergreen leaves blooms in April - May. The color of the flowers is white, yellowish with green tint, burgundy, peach, dark reddish, etc. The hellebore is grown in partial shade. Water in moderation, do not plant in damp places and where they stagnate for a long time melt water... High frost resistance. Hellebores reproduce by division, less often by seeds.

9. Daffodils

Daffodils, like many of the above flowers, belong to bulbous plants, and therefore their beautiful flowering directly depends on the condition of the bulb. When buying bulbs, you need to be extremely careful and give preference to the healthiest and most resilient specimens.

In order for the flowers to have enough nutrients, the soil should be loamy when planting.
The best place to plant daffodils is a sunny lawn protected from strong winds.

Daffodils need to be repotted periodically. Plants can grow in one place for about 4-5 years. After that, the flowers will begin to shrink, the plantings become thickened.

10. Violet

Another popular and unpretentious primrose is a fragrant violet, stretching its blue-blue flowers towards the warm sunlight.

Since violet seeds germinate in the dark, they are carefully covered with earth and kept in a cool, humid and dark place until germination. A month later, the seedlings dive, later planted in pots or in a permanent place in the garden. If the climate permits, you can leave them to winter, covering them from frost with spruce branches.

Another method of breeding violets is to divide the overgrown curtains. In one season, a young plant grows on average five times. Division is possible almost at any time, the main thing is not to forget to water the young plantings.

11. Liver

At first glance, a liverwort in the forest is easily confused with a violet, the same is rich blue color and a sea of ​​small flowers.

It is better to divide the liverworts during rest, around July. After planting, the plants must be well watered and shaded. By autumn, new plants take root well, and the next year, as a rule, they bloom. In nature, leaves or needles constantly fall on the liverwort, in the garden they need the same. Bark or wood chips can be used. This plant is very shade-loving and prefers well-moisturized soil.

The planted liverworts themselves spread throughout the garden, giving a fairly abundant self-seeding.

Pushkinia is a very beautiful and distinctive flower, it is difficult to compare it with other flowers or draw any parallels in the description. Pushkinia's flowers are usually white, decorated with blue stripes.

Reproduction is carried out using bulbs, and there is also an option for using seeds. But the first option is still more popular. Autumn is the optimal time for transplanting, from mid-September to mid-October. For a successful landing, you need to planting material was of good quality.

In order for the seedlings to be well preserved, provide them with a dark place as well as good ventilation.

13. Primrose

After the snow melts, usually at the end of April, oblong-lanceolate leaves appear from the ground with strong peduncles and dense spherical, enough large inflorescences- this is the primrose.

These unpretentious plants are not uncommon in gardens. The best way get primroses - ask neighbors and friends for clones that have been growing well for a long time.
You can buy flowering specimens - then both the species and the variety will not be in doubt.

The best time to plant primroses is as soon as the snow melts, but if there is watering, they endure division and transplanting at any time convenient for you. Primroses take root when low temperatures... Primroses need partial shade with a rich loamy soil, good nutrition, and the absence of both locking and drying out.

14. Daisies

Agree that only one name of a flower causes a smile of emotion, not to mention the plant itself. Translated from Greek, "daisy" means a pearl. Large, undersized, terry - whatever variety you choose to grow in your garden, these flowers will certainly delight the eye with their brightness and cheerfulness.


Daisies are annual and perennial, the former bloom only for a year, and the latter are grown only for two years, since on the third the flowers begin to shrink and thin out, often die. The main planting time for daisies is early and mid-May. These flowers also bloom in early May, as the leaves and buds survive the winter well under the snow. In places where it does not a large number of snow, plants, should be covered for the winter.

Reproduction of daisies is carried out both by seeds and cuttings, and dividing the bush.

A distinctive feature of this primrose is that in its inflorescences you can see both pink and dark blue flowers. Of all the above plants given view the most durable, it lives for about 30 years.

In nature, most species grow on fertile, sufficiently moist soils, so that our usual garden soils she is quite satisfied.
This plant reproduces vegetatively, it begins after the transition to flowering and continues for almost the entire growth period. The old parts of the rhizome die off over time, and the bush disintegrates.

Nothing pleases the gardener more than primroses that appear one after another on the site. There is still snow in some places, but juicy greens plants with funny and bright colors, as well as possible, speaks of the awakening of nature.

Perennial primroses with photos and names

Anemone (Anemone)

Anemone Crowned with bright large flowers

Anemone or anemone, so named for its sensitive attitude to the slightest breath of wind, is one of the first to bloom. The foliage has not yet blossomed on the garden trees and shrubs, and the flowers of the anemone are already swaying on high stems.

Early flowering allows you to grow anemones under trees, near shrubs, near the walls of buildings that will protect the plant from the wind.

Buttercup and oak anemone, the most common types of plants that are grown in summer cottages as primroses. Anemone blooms at the end of April, their flowering lasts for two, three weeks. The color of the flowers of the oak anemone is white, and the buttercup anemone pleases with yellow flowers.

Similar to the above plant and anemone tender with blue flowers... The smallest anemone (about 10 cm) is very popular among gardeners.

Crown anemone, a representative of warm edges, therefore requires the creation comfortable conditions for wintering. She needs shelter with foliage of broad-leaved trees (maple, oak). The flowers of this plant are larger; red and white, purple and pink.

The aerial part of all anemone species dies off after flowering a month later. Therefore there will be correct location next to them flowers with a later flowering period. With overgrown foliage, they will cover the unsightlyness of withered anemones.

The most affordable and easy way to propagate a flower is to divide the bush into several parts. Without digging up the whole plant, separate a piece of turf and plant in the right place. Separated anemone bushes have good survival rate.

Seed reproduction implies autumn sowing in the ground, or it is done at home, with preliminary stratification of the planting material. In the first case, flowering will occur in the spring of next year.

Snowdrops

Blooming snowdrops

The plant is listed in the red book, because due to Great love person to its person, it is, in practice, uprooted from the habitat.

But the gardener has the opportunity to grow it on his personal plot and admire its early flowering.

This unpretentious plant may not need a transplant for many years, since it has a minimum of requirements for soil and growing conditions. In addition, these plants do not like to be disturbed by their roots, but if such a need arises, then this should be done along with a piece of turf. No need to free root system from the old soil.

Galanthus, another name for a snowdrop, grows well in shady places. A few hours of sunshine and moist soil is the minimum a plant needs to start flowering. And the cooler the spring weather, the more abundant and longer the snowdrop will bloom.

After flowering, the leaves should be left to wither on their own, during this period the bulb is stocked with nutrients for full flowering next spring.
The method of reproduction by dividing the bush was discussed above, and reproduction by seeds will give a result no earlier than four years later.

The following species are more often grown in gardens:

1. common snowdrop, low plant with fragrant flowers;
2. Elvis's snowdrop is different in height (up to 50 cm);
3. Volkov's snowdrop, native to Russia. This species has the ability to grow very quickly, so it requires division of the bush every three years.

Flowers of all kinds are drooping, bell-shaped and white.

Proleska

Proleska is a bulbous perennial that covers the ground with low plants with blue flower stars. It is the density of planting that the effect of a blue carpet is achieved, which looks simply delightful against the background of a gray uncomfortable garden.

Siberian Proleska most common among gardeners, as a primrose used for early garden decoration. Due to the fact that the plant is hardy and does not require special care, it can grow in the garden allotted to it for up to 5 years. But in order not to weaken its decorative qualities, the minimum feeding rates should still be introduced. And they should consist of a complex containing phosphorus and potassium and nitrogen.

The increase in the areas occupied by the Proleskaya does not require much time and costs. It is enough to separate part of the flower together with the soil, without resorting to the complete extraction of the plant, and transplant it to a new place.

Plants are well adapted, with the arrival of next spring there will be a new island on the site, reflecting the sky blue.
They also grow a spit from the bulbs of children, which ripen quickly and are suitable for the formation of a full-fledged plant at the age of three.

Often, reproduction occurs by self-seeding, thus, single plantings of spruce can become dense thickets.

Tulips are widely used by gardeners to create flower beds, flower beds, and are grown specifically for cutting. And primroses include simple early tulips, as well as double early tulips.

This group of plants is characterized by a small height of 25-40 cm, but due to their early flowering, they can often be found in early May at their summer cottage. And they were planted with one purpose: to give the garden charm, bright colors. Especially when most of the site is not yet covered with lush spring greenery.

Tulip refers to moisture-loving plants , so they need watering in dry spring. They can be combined with top dressing, in early spring added nitrogen fertilizers, and during the budding period and after flowering, phosphorus and potassium supplements are used.

After the tulip flower withers, its cup should be cut off, leaving the peduncle, he and the remaining leaves will help the bulb to stock up on the necessary nutrients for a safe winter and early flowering next spring.

Flowers that are used to decorate the garden, and early flowering belong to them, can be left in the ground for several years. In this case, the autumn planting of flowers should be carried out at a depth of 25 cm, and more densely, and the soil around should be decorated with evergreen perennials. This will create a more picturesque spring flower garden.

One more beautiful perennial, from the bulbous family, which belongs to primroses. Blooming at the end of April, it looks great in a small flower garden, consisting of early flowering perennials.

Hyacinth flowering times are divided into three categories:

• early blooming,
• medium flowering,
• late blooming.

Although it should be noted that the difference between the beginning of flowering of the first category and the last does not exceed 10 days.

The inflorescences of early hyacinths are usually blue in color. Pink, white, red flowers are next. The parade of colors will be completed by plants with yellow and orange caps of inflorescences.

The cooler the spring weather, the longer the hyacinth blooms. If at t + 10 ° C it can be three weeks, then with its increase, the flowering period will be reduced by a week.

The flower also has requirements for the composition of the soil. The soil must be fertile, neutral and have good texture and drainage properties. Even a slight stagnation of water in the area where the bulbs are located can lead to their death.

The ground under autumn plantings hyacinths begin to be processed in advance, applying organic and mineral fertilizers. The addition of humus, ready-made compost, sand, wood ash.

The planting of hyacinth bulbs begins at the end of September. Large specimens are deepened by 15-20 cm, and 8-12 cm will be enough for small ones. Between the bulbs themselves, the distance should be 10-15 cm and 5-8 cm, respectively.

The method of planting bulbs in the sand is also practiced. Sand is poured into the groove. A layer of 2-3 cm will allow you to fix the bulbs in it, pour more sand on top, and fill the remaining height of the groove with earth. This method will prevent the bulbs from rotting, protect them from infections in the ground, and increase the drainage capacity of the soil.

With the onset of cold weather, planting should be mulched.

Spring maintenance work begins with removing the mulch layer and gently loosening the resulting crust on the surface and applying fertilizer.

1. After the sprouts appear, fertilizing with nitrogen fertilizer follows.
2. During the budding period, a complex of mineral fertilizers will help the plant to form a strong and bright flower.
3. The third, mineral feeding, will allow the bulb to make a reserve required elements and safely endure the winter cold.

Narcissus is a bulbous, perennial, early flowering plant.

The height of the plant stem is from 5 cm (dwarf species) to 50 cm, which ends with a white or yellow flower.

It is distinguished by an unpretentious disposition, both in relation to the soil on which it grows and to the illumination. It can grow and develop well on sandy soil. Loams are also suitable for growing daffodils. But minimal amount a complex of fertilizers, nevertheless, must be applied to the soil before planting the plants.

Choosing a place for planting a flower is not difficult: sunny or shaded... You should know that when choosing the second option, flowering will be longer.

Planting bulbs in open ground produced in September, taking into account that plants need about three weeks to form a root system. Otherwise, the bulbs will be squeezed out of the depths to the surface of the earth, which will lead to their freezing.

The division of a bush that is already in the summer cottage can be carried out at a time when the leaves of the daffodil begin to wither.

1. Having dug a bush, it is necessary to select the bulbs of the child, to discard the sick and damaged.
2. Transplant the bushes you like to a new place, cutting off the aboveground part.
3. It is better to leave a small stump so as not to lose the landing.

Primrose

An unpretentious herbaceous perennial, which, with its bright, varied colors, will revive any corner of the summer cottage.

Preferring shady places, the primrose thrives and blooms under the crowns of garden trees and near ornamental shrubs.

The beginning of the appearance of flowers falls on the first days of May and the plant will receive a sufficient amount of heat and light, because the leaves on the trees have not yet blossomed in full force. And on hot days, the foliage will protect the flower from the scorching rays.

The soil for planting flowers should be loose, fertilized, without stagnant water. This saves the grower from having to fertilize every year.

After 3-4 years, it is advisable to transplant the primrose bush... The gardener will have the opportunity to increase plantings, and the plant itself will again be provided with a supply of nutrients for several years ahead.

Transplanting time is not critical, but it is better to do this when the plant has bloomed.

• The flower is dug up, the roots are washed to determine how best to carry out the division.
• Each separated bush should have its own point of growth with two to three leaves and a good tuft of roots.
• After transplanting, the plant should be watered and shaded for a few days.

Crocuses

Primroses that endure any changes in spring weather conditions.

For abundant and lush bloom crocuses need good lighting. And since they appear, practically from under the snow, it is possible to grow them near fruit trees and ornamental shrubs. There is no foliage on the trees yet, and the flower will be fully provided with sunlight.

Crocuses are not demanding on soils, but a small complex of nitrogen and mineral fertilizers should be introduced into the soil before planting.

An even more important measure is the improvement of the soil structure. It must be moisture permeable. Good drainage will relieve stagnant water, otherwise the bulb will rot and die.

Crocuses are propagated by bulbs by children, which are formed next to the uterine corms. Overgrown plantings of flowers are dug up every 3-4 years, the bulbs are sorted by size, dried in the air, but under a canopy. With the arrival of autumn, they are planted in a properly prepared soil. Typically, the timing of this work falls on the third decade of September.

Muscari

Muscari, short ornamental plant with blue inflorescence looking like a bunch of grapes. Bulbous perennial, to the family of which the muscari belongs, can be grown in any corner of the suburban area.

The flower is photophilous, but you can grow it in near-trunk circles fruit trees, as the flowering is complete before the foliage creates a shadow over it.

A flower can grow in one place for many years.... This presupposes high-quality tillage before planting:

• application of mineral and organic fertilizers,
• improving the structure of the soil.

This will allow the plant to develop without lack of nutrients... Providing good water permeability to the soil will protect the bulb from decay.

The same result can be achieved by pouring into the holes for planting a flower coarse sand... In addition, the absence of contact with the soil will protect the planting material from infections that may be in the ground.

For spring flowering, the plant has enough moisture, which is formed from melting snow. Subsequently, after the leaves die off, one-year-olds will most likely be planted in this place, and moisture from their watering will flow to the bulbs.

The flower is propagated by bulbs by children. After the plant had bloomed, the leaves turned yellow and withered, the flower entered a dormant phase. During this period, the plant can be dug up and young bulbs can be selected. But this work can be done at another time convenient for the gardener. This will not harm the plant.

The flower is a very winter-hardy plant... Caring for it is simple: loosening and weeding are the main types of work.

Grouse

Grouse imperial

Grouse does not belong to capricious perennials. Original plant, with drooping flowers, makes the gardener want to grow it in his summer cottage.

The first thing to consider when purchasing planting material is their vulnerability. The bulbs do not have an outer coating, and any mechanical damage can cause various kinds of diseases.

In any case, before planting, they need to be disinfected with a weak solution of ordinary potassium permanganate.

Just like most perennials, hazel grouse grows in one place for several years without transplanting. And this must be taken into account when preparing the soil for planting. The introduction of organic matter in the form of humus or ready-made compost, substrates that improve the access of moisture and air will help the plant quickly settle in a new place.

After flowering, which occurs in the second half of May, the plant still looks decorative for some time, but by the end of June the stem begins to fade. This is the best time to increase the plantings of hazel grouse.

The bulbs are carefully dug up, washed, disinfected in a manganese solution and dried well. The available baby bulbs are also planted in autumn, in September. Usually hazel grouse begins to bloom when the bulb reaches 5 cm in diameter.

So it turns out that growing hazel grouse is not difficult, but requires patience.

Dicentra is also called "broken heart"

Charming plant, with many flowers of hearts encourages the gardener to purchase a flower.

Enough unpretentious perennial regarding the choice of the landing site. It will bloom both in the sun and in the shade.

The difference is that on open place flowering will come earlier, but will be shorter. In the shade, the plant develops more vigorously and the flowering period increases.

The dicentra has a root system that is located close to the surface of the earth, this requires good drainage, otherwise the fragile roots will suffer from stagnant water. This will inevitably lead to their decay and, as a rule, the death of the plant. The fragility of the roots requires careful handling of the flower during planting.

The flower is grown on fertile soils, with the introduction of ready-made compost, humus, wood ash.

Propagated by dividing the bush, which can be carried out both in spring and autumn. In the spring, this work is carried out as early as possible so that it does not at the expense of flowering.

An autumn transplant is less painful for the flower. After the plant wilts, it is dug up and the rhizome is cut into several components. They are planted in fertilized holes, covered with fertile soil. It should be watered abundantly, hygrophilous bleeding center.

Forget-me-nots

Forget-me-not Alpine Indigo

Forget-me-nots are herbaceous perennial, with delicate blue flowers, prefers shaded areas with moist soil.

The soil, in the place where forget-me-not will grow, should not be overfed with nitrogen-containing fertilizers. This will lead to an overgrowth of the green mass of the plant and weaken its decorative qualities.

Grow forget-me-not from seeds. At their summer cottage, in June, they prepare a garden bed. Nitrophoska is introduced (30 g per 1 sq. M.), Half a bucket of humus is added, everything is carefully dug up, leveled and watered. Seeds are scattered along the shallow grooves. Sprinkle thin layer sand, compact.

To retain moisture and create optimal conditions for germination, the bed is covered with a film. By the end of the second week, it is necessary to check the crops; when shoots appear, the shelter is removed. Seedlings must be thinned out.

In the first year, the forget-me-not forms a small bush, and will bloom next spring in May. By that time, it should be planted in its permanent place. Spring flower care consists in watering and fertilizing with mineral fertilizers. In the fall, a nitrogen-containing composition should be added to them.

Despite its tenderness and seeming fragility, forget-me-not is a rather aggressive plant. If you let it grow on its own, then it will quickly seize territories that do not belong to it.

Lungwort - Pulmonaria villarsae

Lungwort is a low rhizome perennial, the main advantage of which is unpretentiousness in terms of lighting. She is able to grow even in dense shade.

But partial shade is preferable for her.

The soil for lungwort needs slightly acidic, rich in humus. It can grow in one place for about 25 years... But the flower needs thinning, so dividing the bush once every 4 years will solve the problem not only with the density of plantings, but will provide the summer resident with planting material.

Among gardeners, lungwort is valued not only for its flowers, bells and its shade tolerance, but also for its decorative foliage. Light or dark green leaves are covered with white specks and specks all over the surface. In addition, they have the property of changing their color, in this case the speck merges with the color of the leaf.

Caring for the plant is not difficult, keeping the soil moist (but not excessively), one-time feeding, a set of mineral fertilizers and autumn pruning stems. Although the removal of the stems can be left on in the spring.

Primroses in the garden: video

No matter how many flowers are planted on the site, the gardener will always have a desire to buy something new. And this is natural - the beauty of fresh flowers pleases.

And primroses are especially pleasing in early spring, when the snow is just melting and there is almost no greenery - and the bright islets delicate flowers have already awakened.

With the first warm rays of the Sun, in the forest, on thawed patches, appear the very first spring flowers ... One of these spring primroses is a snowdrop.

Snowdrop - amazing flower... At first, a person who meets him in the forest is even a little lost, because there is snow around, and here is such a spring miracle of nature. Snowdrop is not found everywhere; you can usually see how it blooms in February-March.

A snowdrop was previously thought to be like three drops of milk hanging down. From here comes its Latin name Galanthus, which means milky white flowers.

In Slavic legends, the snowdrop acts as a brave flower, which was not the first to be afraid of the old woman of winter, who decided not to let spring fall on the ground. Plucking up courage, he blossomed, the Sun noticed him and decided to warm him and the whole Earth. This is how he is, a snowdrop, the very first spring flower in the forest .

Flowers are generally a joy, but first flowers , and even in the spring after nature was in a long hibernation, this is real magic. The earth is waking up, nature comes to life, here and there birdsong is heard, greenery appears and begins to bloom. What else the names of the first spring forest flowers can we remember?

Vesennik , overseas Eranthis (spring + flower), one of the very first spring flowers. It has bright yellow flowers and begins to bloom after the snow melts. It can withstand both spring frosts and snowfalls.

Anemone (another name for Anemone) is another of the primroses, found most often in the European part of Russia, in Siberia, in the Caucasus and Far East. Most it spends life underground, in the form of a rhizome. The future flower begins to develop even in winter, when it is under a layer of snow. By the shape of the petals, one can distinguish chamomile and poppy anemone.

The next first spring flower that I want to mention is coltsfoot ... The flower got its name because of the differences in the surface of the leaf. On the one hand, the leaf is soft and fluffy (mother), and on the other, hard (stepmother). It usually blooms in April-May. Widely distributed throughout Russia.

Some more spring forest primroses :

Liverwort - bright blue flower, grows along the banks of rivers and lakes, on the slopes, forest edges. Blooms in April.

European hoof - evergreen with small black flowers, blooms in late April.

Sleep grass - the second name is lumbago, blooms in early April.

Peter's cross - blooms in April.

Goose bow - blooms in late March - early April.

Lungwort - from March to May.

Here is everything that I managed to find about the very first spring flowers in the forest ... If you have any additions, then write, I will be glad!

In this article, we will touch on the topic: spring flowers photos and names. Early flowers are the first harbingers of good weather. They appear with the first sun and are generally not afraid of frost. Despite their fragile appearance, they perfectly tolerate bad weather.

Early potted flowers

V last years very popular to grow garden plants in pots. Primrose and bulbous varieties are best suited for this.

Know! In order to grow a plant from a bulb at home, it must be maintained for some time in the cold, this will contribute to the production of growth hormone.

Primrose

It has a large number of subspecies. Each of which differs from each other not only appearance, but also the requirements for care. The homeland of this culture is Asia, specifically Tibet, the Himalayas and Western China. Only about thirty grows in the European part of the continent.

Usually, it is believed that primrose grows preferably in forest belts, but some have taken root in the mountains and meadows of the Alps, as well as on the banks of rivers. Less than half of all varieties are used in culture, and some are unable to survive even in our harsh conditions.

However, among the variety of classes, you can also find those that germinate after the snow melts. And if you choose the varieties correctly, then the flowerbed, throughout the warm season, will be decorated with bright hats. The following types are used in Russian gardening:

Breeding and caring for primroses

Propagated by seeds and cuttings. The first method is laborious, due to the fact that it has small fruits. And the germination of seeds does not last long, so it is better to sow immediately. But if it is customary to breed primrose with seeds, then they must be sown in early February.

Remember! Seeds must undergo stratification, that is, prolonged exposure to cold.

You can also try temperature buildup, which is considered the best way:

1. To do this, during the day, the seeds must be placed in the cold, then in the heat at regular intervals. This will help some varieties to sprout.
2. Then you can soak the seeds in special tool, provoke growth.
3. Then, using a toothpick, sow each spot in a separate container. In this case, it is very convenient to use peat tablets.
4. The final step is to cover the container with seeds with foil and place it on the windowsill. In the future, you will need to monitor the moisture content of the substrate.
5. Germination of seedlings can take several months, so do not worry ahead of time.

Primroses on a flower bed

First of all, for early copies it is necessary to find optimal place for growth. It should be a place with little shade, loose and fertile soil. You can choose a place in front of the entrance to the house or on the veranda. After the flowerbed is prepared, it is necessary to decide on the choice of bulbous plants, it can be: tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, muscari, quinodox, hazel grouses, scillas, iridodictiums.

As soon as the decision is made, it is required to choose specimens for decorating the flower bed that bloom with the arrival of heat: forget-me-nots, viola, daisies. There are varieties of viols that bloom in the fall. And in the end, perennial specimens are used for the base of the flower bed:

There are many tulips and hyacinths on sale that are made for home breeding. They look great on the windowsill in the apartment. That's all I wanted to tell you on this topic.

The snow is just beginning to disappear, and the first spring flowers are already appearing in the garden. Many people are eagerly awaiting them, as they become a decoration of the beginning of spring.

Snowdrop propagation can be done by seeds or bulbs. appear in the third year after planting.

If a person has decided to transplant the bulbs, this should be done after the flowering has passed. But some gardeners believe that the most best time it will be August for replanting.

Lilies of the valley

The names of spring flowers are supplemented by lilies of the valley. They grow only in the forest, appear near shrubs, where there is a lot of moisture. The plant belongs to the lily family. It has been pleasing with its beauty for many years, as it is a perennial.

However, lily of the valley is also planted in the garden. Plant it better in autumn... The soil should be fertilized, you need to make sure that the root is not bent.

There are different early spring flowers, their names are different, as well as their care. But the lily of the valley is unpretentious. The only thing he needs is moist soil. In such a habitat, he will delight with his flowers. This plant has developed roots. Because of this, he is able to survive other plants, only bushes and trees are beyond his power. Therefore, gardeners do not recommend planting lily of the valley along with other flowers.

Crocuses

If we talk about bulbous spring flowers (their names are varied), one should not forget about crocuses. There are many types of them, each of which differs in the shape of the petals and their color. They should be transplanted in the summer. The main thing is that there is a neutral acidity of the soil. The place where the plant is going to be placed must be sunny.

They begin to be seen even when there is snow nearby. It looks especially beautiful if plants are planted in groups.

Proleski

When listing the names of spring flowers, one should not forget about the groves. During the growing season, the bulb forms about 4 babies. They are separated and transplanted. The trees have beautiful bluish flowers. This plant is often planted on lawns, under bushes. It is capable of creating an unusually beautiful look.

Hyacinths

Listing each name of the first spring flowers, it should be noted that none of them can compare with the beauty of hyacinths blooming. This flower is propagated using small bulbs that appear on an adult plant several times a year. The emerging baby needs to be carefully separated during the rest period. After 2 years, the plant will delight you with its extraordinary flowers.

Dream-grass, spring cleanser

There are still such primroses flowers: spring cleaver, dream-grass. They grow in meadows, dry sunny slopes. Sleep grass is also grown in the garden. For this, seeds are planted. A dug plant will not take root in the forest, it will dry out. Seeds will germinate well in the ground, where there is the presence of peat, sand, fertilizer. This flower has long been listed in the Red Book, so it is worth taking care of it.

Hazel grouse

The very first spring flowers are signs of the beginning of spring. They are particularly beautiful. Such plants are hazel grouse. They have a variegated color, and their flowers hang down with umbrellas. It is easy to grow it in the garden. The main thing is that the place is sunny, with nutritious soil.

But hazel grouses do not like strong moisture. Because of this, drainage must be placed in wet areas. To grow the plant in the garden, it is recommended to dig up the bulb every year.

Daffodils

Daffodils are also the name of the first spring flowers. Their flowering is associated with the condition of the bulb. Therefore, those wishing to plant daffodils in the garden should pay attention to it when buying. The plant needs nutritious soil and sun, does not like winds. Daffodils grow in one place for about 5 years, then they should be transplanted. They look good when other plants are blooming nearby.

Hellebore and violet

Spring flowers delight the eye. The names "violet" and "hellebore" are familiar to many. These plants are among the first to bloom.

The hellebore is a perennial with beautiful evergreen leaves. He has flowers different color appear in April. They may be:

• white;
• burgundy;
• red;
• peach, etc.

This plant loves partial shade, does not tolerate damp places. But the violet reaches for the sun's rays. Her flowers are blue-blue.

By the way, liverwort is often confused with violet. It is also a spring flower that appears mainly in the forest. It is often covered with leaves or needles, so people who grow this plant in the garden should do the same. The liverwort grows in moist soil in the shade.

Pushkinia

Spring flower names include pushkinia. Its flowering is very beautiful, which cannot be compared with another plant. It usually white with blue stripes. Pushkinia is a bulbous plant, therefore it is propagated using bulbs. There are options to use seeds though. If a person has decided to plant this flower in his garden, the best period for this will be autumn. But in winter the plant requires warm place, then the seedling will be well preserved.

After the disappearance of the snow, primrose also appears. Its inflorescences are very large and the leaves are oblong. The plant is not afraid of frost, but does not tolerate drought and highly moist soil.

Daisies, lungwort

There are also some spring flowers. The names "daisies" and "lungwort" themselves cause these plants to appear in early spring as well.

As for daisies, they grow small, but large. There are several varieties of them, but they all radiate cheerfulness and brightness. They bloom in early May, and the buds remain throughout the winter. By the way, when growing in the garden, it should be cold period still cover up the daisies.

But the lungwort surprises with its inflorescences, since they can simultaneously be blue and color pink... This plant is durable, as it lives for 30 years. It grows on moist soil and is therefore difficult to grow in the garden.

Allium

Allium is also called a decorative bow. Inflorescences appear on long legs. This plant is able to decorate any site, and it is not difficult to grow it. It blooms in late spring, but there are also species that delight with their flowers in autumn.

Growing spring bulbous plants

Most of the plants that bloom first are bulbous spring flowers. Their names were listed above. Each of them has its own originality and peculiarity. They all grow in the wild, but over the years, people have begun to plant these beautiful flowers in their gardens, which are pleasing to the eye in early spring. Those wishing to decorate their summer cottage with such plants should know how to grow them correctly.

Scales stretch from the bottom of the bulb, with the help of which the flowers are stored with water and substances. And the bulb is used for plant propagation.

The spring bulbous plant blooms in early spring. After flowering, it continues to develop and grow leaves. This is done so that the bulb absorbs the maximum amount of nutrients. These plants enter a dormant period when all the leaves dry out.

Tulips are one of the earliest flowers. They are especially often used for planting in gardens, parks, squares.

Tulips

Tulips love areas where the wind does not reach, where there are no drafts. This plant grows well in places of direct sunlight. In order for it to delight with its amazing colors, the sun must shine on it for more than half a day. Due to the lack of lighting, the bulbs of the plant are small, and the inflorescences are fragile and thin.

The tulip needs feeding, then it will grow healthy and beautiful. It should be carried out:

• after tulip shoot;
• during the appearance of buds;
• during flowering.

Of course, if top dressing was introduced in the fall, it may not be carried out further.

For tulips to bloom, you need to dig up the bulbs every year when the leaves have already turned yellow. You need to store them in a dry place, having previously cleared from the ground. To prevent the bulb from rotting, sand is poured at the bottom in the place where it is planted. Tulips are planted to a depth of 3 bulbs.

Spring flowers listed in the Red Book

Every spring, after the snow begins to melt, the first spring flowers appear. But some of them are on the verge of extinction, because of this they were included in the Red Book. It is forbidden to pick, sell and buy them, as the primroses are in danger. Many people do not pay attention to this, they collect bouquets of flowers in the forests. This applies to snowdrops, lilies of the valley. You can visit the forest and just admire these flowers. Snowdrops are under particular threat. Various legends have been created about them since ancient times.

Also disappears 50 years ago, it could be found in early spring throughout the country. Its flowers are painted in burgundy, it grew in glades, in the Black Sea regions, on the slopes of low mountains. The plant sprouts in groups, and people have begun to pluck flowers in whole bouquets. Gradually, its population decreased. Now the peony is rarely seen, most often it appears on the Black Sea coast.

Such flowers include which also blooms in spring. By the way, it is even used in perfumery. But its quantity is also decreasing, so it is worth taking care of the first spring flowers.
